Review of ecosystem features, indicators and surveys for ecological monitoring of the Banc-des-Américains marine protected area.: Fs70-6/2019-033E-PDF

"In order to support the federal government's commitment to establish marine protected areas (MPAs), DFO Science is mandated to implement monitoring plans for MPAs. To develop a monitoring plan, biological and ecological indicators (and related threats), protocols and strategies must be identified to assess the extent to which conservation goals and objectives are being achieved. The monitoring plan is required to 1) feed into the broader MPA monitoring program, which is managed by DFO Oceans; 2) assist managers in developing the MPA management plan; and 3) provide reports to Parliament and Canadians"--Context, page [1].
